Product information "Raats Family Cabernet Franc 2020"
Every year, the Raats Family Cabernet Franc delights the critics and this year's vintage also scores across the board. Special aromas of rosemary and thyme with spicy flavours of nutmeg, cloves and star anise beguile the connoisseur's senses. Intense blackberry fruit and mineral undertones are found on the palate and contribute to the complexity of this red wine. The Raats Family Cabernet Franc is best enjoyed with lamb chops, chicken or duck breast with fruity sauces. For those with a sweet tooth, a chocolate cake is the perfect accompaniment to this special wine, but the Cabernet Franc is also always a great choice on its own.

Raats Family Wines - a family affair
Raats Family Wines is a family-run winery and is known above all for its exceptional wines of the Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc grape varieties. In 2000 Bruwer Raats founded the Raats winery in Stellenbosch together with his brother Jasper. Since then, the mission has been to create extraordinarily good South African wines and to establish them internationally. Today Raats is run by Bruwer Raats and his cousin. It has meanwhile developed into a top winery in the South African wine world and enjoys a high international reputation.
Raats wine highly praised by John Platter
The quality of the Raats Family wines also convinced wine critic John Platter. No less than five wines received the highest award in the John Platter Wine Guide 2018 and the Raats Winery achieved an unprecedented success. This achievement by the winemakers was rewarded with the title “Winery of the Year".
Raats Family Wines on the march
A very special creation is the flagship of the winery. The MR de Compostella is a red wine blend from the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc grape varieties and was developed by Bruwer Raats and his long-time friend Mzokono Mvemve. In addition, there has been an innovative range since 2014. The Raats BVintners wines are characterised by the special origin of their grapes. The winemaking team uses grapes purchased here that come from special regions and clearly show their origin in the wines. With these trend-setting creations, the Raats Family Wines winery is broadening its horizons and offering a comprehensive range with the right wine for every occasion.
